8 Extend the OCI Instance Disk Space

On initial access to the instance, only about 40 GB of disk space is available. You can recover extra disk space by using the growpart command.

After executing this command and rebooting the machine, about 75 GB will be available unless a custom size was selected at provisioning time.

To recover the extra disk space:

1. Execute the growpart command as the root user:
   growpart /dev/sda 3
2. Reboot the machine.
